Rogers Launches Their Version Of 'TV Everywhere'
'Free' to Internet, phone or TV customers. (caps apply)
Last fall we noted how Canadian cable operator Rogers Communications was engaged in a beta of their own "TV Everywhere" Internet video service. The company has now launched the service over at RogersOnDemand.com, and says the service offers about 1,500 hours of programming in a news release with more detail. In contrast to some U.S. incarnations of TV Everywhere, Rogers' service is available to any digital cable, wireless, home phone and high-speed Internet customers. Of course there's still those low bandwidth caps and overages Rogers is known for -- which will apply for users of the service.

Rogers OnDemand is Canada only



Looks like they have an IP checker on their product that looks for IP ranges in Canada.

But if you live in Canada, but are not a Rogers customer, you can still watch much of the content.

I didn't join and just clicked on the "Just Watch Videos" link. Might make a difference.

What would this or any other cable or telco

What would this or any other cable co or telco require for a private on demand channel similar set-up on their network? Any thoughts?

.

The channels are basically a few specialty channels and rogers owned cable channels.

The show selection isn't that great if your not into reality shows. The video quality is on-par with Hulu (which is good since we do not get Hulu officially up here)

Rogers isn't likely to put much cash into this. They still haven't made any major updates to the PVR's or other Cable boxes in years and are known for the most unfriendly and ugly interfaces on the planet.

They're trying to steal my cookies...

Oh yay. They want me to use their "on demand" service and since it's on their network I still get screwed on their ultra-low caps. Come on Teksavvy, get to woodstock with cable.
